Course Description

This course is the first half of a year long course in the theory of functions on the real line. Most of the first semester will be spent on a careful examination of sequences, limits of functions, continuity and their applications to differentiation and integration. This analysis will produce strong results about real functions that surpass the calculus, as well as a rigourous recovery of those theorems. A central methodological theme will be the development of mathematical intuition and proof-writing, by exercising these abilities in unfamiliar contexts.
